MEMORY 100% memory. Easily regain its original shape and size when reheated.
RTS Minimum to moderate resistance to stretch.

DRAPE Maximum drape. Excellent conformability and reproduction of detail.
Turns transparent when completely heated and retains its clarity for the first few minutes of molding, allowing visibility of landmarks and bony prominences.
